Deep dives
Current State of Ukraine Offensive
The state of Ukraine's offensive has largely stabilized in the north near Kupian and around Kremina. Ukrainian forces are still trying to take control of Kleshevka south of Bakhmut, a fight that has dragged on for months. In the southern regions, the Wysylka axis had been dormant, but recently Ukrainian forces have started pressuring the Russian military there, launching attacks. The main axis of the offensive has seen Ukrainian forces capture Deneb and push towards Verboe and southeast of Abatune. They are fighting through a robust defensive network to widen the salient and expand their progress.
